E.D. Baker made her international debut in 2002 with The Frog Princess, which was a Texas Lone Star Reading List Book, A Book Sense Children's Pick, a Florida's Sunshine State Readers List pick & a 2006 Sasquatch Book Award nominee. The Frog Princess inpired the Disney's Princess and the Frog!

E. D. (Elizabeth Dawson) Baker was born in Buffalo, New York and spent most of the next eighteen years in the Town of Tonawanda with her older brother and her parents. She married her husband while in college, and had two children a few years after graduating from Allegheny College in Meadville, Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. When her son was four, the family moved to the state of Maryland. With two young children at home, Elizabeth worked part time in her husband’s business and took writing classes at the local community college. She continued taking writing classes after the birth of her second daughter, but when she and her husband divorced, she went back to school and entered the SIMAT (School Immersion Masters in the Art of Teaching) program at Johns Hopkins University. After graduating, she taught fifth grade until her parents’ health began to fail. Her son had already graduated from college when Elizabeth and her daughters moved north to be closer to her parents. Having gained a new perspective on what is important in life, Elizabeth decided that it was time to believe in herself and devoted her time to writing. Her first book, The Frog Princess, was published in 2002. Elizabeth has written 18 books to date and has no plans to quite writing anytime soon.

E. D. Baker currently lives on a small farm in Maryland where she and her family breed Appaloosa horses. They also have dogs, cats and goats.
